Master ‘Stringification’ to freely swap between 3D and 2D in a tactical 5v5 shooter!

15th November, 2024 – Game developer and publisher iDreamSky is proud to unveil their upcoming 5v5 anime-inspired tactical shooter Strinova, which features an original mechanic called Stringification that lets players freely swap between 3D and 2D forms. You won’t have to wait long to try it as its Official PC Launch goes live on 22nd November at 12am GMT. You can pre-download the game from 19th November at 12am GMT, on the official Strinova website or add it to your wishlist on Steam.

Strinova is an anime-style third-person tactical competitive shooter that lets you freely switch between three-dimensional and two-dimensional forms for a one-of-a-kind battle experience. By utilizing its unique “Stringification” mechanic, you can seamlessly flatten your avatar into a 2D plane allowing you to instantly change your elevation by zipping up through walls, swimming through ceilings, or using your paper-like form to glide through the air. You’ll also be a thinner target, making it easier to avoid enemy fire. Flesh yourself out into 3D to utilize your weapons and take the offensive against the opposing team. Explore different movement routes and combat strategies, delivering a shooting experience unlike anything else.

As Earth’s resources are depleted, humanity used string theory to discover a multidimensional space. Utilizing the “Bablo Crystals” from this space, they created new bodies to adapt to the multidimensional environment. They built cities here and called this new world Strinova. However, progress comes at a cost. Every century, the string sequences in the residents’ bodies deteriorate and decay. As the utopian dream shattered, differing beliefs and ideologies led people down divergent paths. With the advent of “Collapse Syndrome,” the new world began to descend into chaos… 

Strinova introduces a brand-new universe, where characters belong to one of three factions — P.U.S., The Scissors, and Urbino. 
The defending team, P.U.S., is the official government of the new world, maintaining order while striving to find a cure for “Collapse Syndrome”. The Scissors are united as an armed organization opposing P.U.S, attempting to seize control of the Bablo Crystals to open a path back to the old world. In the game, they are the attacking team. Urbino is a corporate consortium controlling the lifeblood of the new world’s production, using crystal energy to explore pathways to other dimensions.

The Strinova Official Launch will provide a detailed introduction to the game’s features and gameplay mechanics. It will feature Demolition Mode, where players battle through a series of rounds where the P.U.S. team is tasked with planting a bomb while The Scissors must stop them to protect Energy Crystals. Urbino players, however, can fight for either side. After each round players are assessed by performance and given points, which can be used to upgrade your character’s skill trees and unlock passive Awakening Skills, offering all new play styles and strategies as the match continues.

Stay tuned for more thrilling maps and modes to be added in the future. Those to be added include the 7v7 Team Deathmatch where players will compete to a certain kill count, and Escort, where the attacking team will try to push a payload forward while the defending team will be tasked with stopping it. 

During the Steam October New Releases Festival, Strinova stood out among numerous games worldwide, securing the top spot in the “Daily Active Demo Players” category and third place in the “Most Popular Upcoming” section.

Each character possesses their own unique abilities, which are expressed through combat skills. For example, Strinova’s “young artist” Maddelena excels at using special paints in combat to restrict the enemy’s movements, while “New Investigator” Michele relies on her beloved intelligent robot to be her best combat partner. Each character in Strinova has skills designed to reflect their unique traits, showcasing both their cute, gentle side and the diversity of their combat strategies. Players will not only love selecting these characters in battle, but also enjoy learning about their backstories, thus forming a deeper connection with them.

“With Strinova we wanted to create a one-of-a-kind take on the tactical shooter and mixing 3D and 2D gameplay was something we’d never seen done before in a PvP game that could offer unparalleled depth of strategy,” said Alan Zhang, Executive Producer of Strinova and Vice President of R&D at iDreamSky. “We’re looking forward to players testing the Official Launch on November 22nd and hearing their feedback as we gear up for Strinova’s full launch.”
